For this second round of sartorial with DLUX Media Arts, i have teamed up with Fashion Designer Ellie May Locke and Wearable technologies interactive designer Emmett Malesani to create Echevectrics - a wearable technology piece that responds to the electrical activity within a plant (Echeveria) via sensors carefully attached to its leaves. The LED lights on the garment (created by Ellie) change in response to the electrical potential of the plant. This is most noticeable when the leaves are touched, although the colours sometimes change unexpectedly.

'Most people are intrigued by the supernatural, even if it creeps them the heck out. That’s why Paranormal Activity was so stupidly popular!

So when Aussie artist, Jade Boyd, sat down to create a project for the upcoming Electrofringe event, she decided on (a somewhat unorthodox) mix of technology, supernatural spirits, and art.

To give you some context, Electrofringe is a presenting platform for experimental electronic and tech-based art, which has been running in Australia since 1997. Electrofringe seeks to foster innovative works and creative practices that use technology in new and exciting ways.

Techly chatted to Jade Boyd in order to delve a little deeper into her work ‘Crystal Radio Feed’, inspired by the Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio....'

I have been working on sARTorial, a wearable technology project for DLUX MediaArts with Nick Wishart (Toydeath) and Carley Rose Wolski. The project consists of a Theremin headset and fibre optic dress and will be shown at the sARTorial pop-up event on September 21st, 74- 76 Pyrmont Bridge Rd, Annandale, Sydney (part of Sydney Fringe Festival).

Modeled by Julia Rose. Described as a '...statuesque model in an eerie, noise producing, theremin helmet.' - Sleep Pile

Australian artist Jade Boyd has assembled a selection of tracks from experimental musicians to launch at Demon's Mouth gallery on the 10th of April.

Red-light Jacuzzi Club reflects on the Romanticized nightclub experience. It is a (n imagined?) sprawling wasteland of cheap leather, neon lights, caged bodies, smoke, transfixion: A place that maybe never existed, beyond the societal where the unhinged thrive.

Jade Boyd is a visual artist working on a PhD. Her video images morph and flow and ooze and feed off each other. Her practice borders on the technological supernatural. Desire is unbound. You're being watched. The present is uncertain.

Redlight Jacuzzi Club won’t be something you see everyday (and is unlike anything you’d see on the back of a VHS tape). Enter this world of uncertainty.
